As we continue to explore the lands of Arran we encounter a few mages along the way. In this subseries we dive into each of their stories. As in the other books, the artwork is stunningly beautiful, and the stories complex and interwoven with the other books in the series. As in the Elves and Dwarf subseries, the Mage series is also broken down by the types of mages, necromancers and alchemists and so forth, adding another layer of complexity to the magic of this world.

As the series continues, the mages are pulled into the war against the elder races. Being mainly human (I can only think of one orc necromancer, the other races being more inherently magic) they are essentially controlled by a form of police, and each mage is forced to align him or herself with one of the kings or queens. Rogue mages are hunted down and killed. This is why some of the mages such as Arundill get more than one book, first we learn who she is, then we see what side she takes in the war. And of course the mages appear in the other sub-series as well. For what its worth, I recommend reading them all in the order in which they were printed since the crossovers start to come fast and furious and you'll want to know who everyone is.

I actually don't have much more to say other than what I've said in the other reviews for the Elves, Orcs and Dwarves (among others). Beautiful artwork, complex plotlines, fascinating characters. These are must reads if you enjoy graphic novels though I don't think very many of them have been translated into English.
